Real Estate in Monaco: 2025 Trends, 2026 Outlook and Attractiveness for UHNWI
A conference to decode Monaco and international real estate dynamics
On the occasion of our conference held on Friday, March 13, alongside Edmond de Rothschild Monaco and BARNES International, we brought together clients, partners and key industry players to analyze the results, trends and outlook of real estate in Monaco and internationally.
This event provided an opportunity to combine real estate, financial and macroeconomic expertise in order to offer a comprehensive reading of the markets, and above all, to better understand Monaco’s unique position within the wealth strategies of Ultra High Net Worth Individuals (UHNWI).
Monaco: a unique real estate market in a changing global environment
In an international context marked by economic uncertainty, increasing geopolitical tensions and rapid technological transformation, investment strategies are evolving significantly.
One of the key topics discussed during the conference was the growing impact of artificial intelligence on the global economy and asset allocation.
Today, artificial intelligence is capable of replacing, partially or entirely, an increasing number of services, including investment advisory, financial analysis, SaaS tools and software, content production and certain forms of technical expertise.
Through subscription-based solutions, traditional business models are being challenged, which is reflected in the volatility and repricing of certain major listed companies.

In the age of AI, the value of tangible assets stands out
In this rapidly evolving environment, one key conviction emerges: the more digital the world becomes, the more valuable tangible assets are.
Unlike many now-dematerialized assets or services, real estate remains inherently non-substitutable. A property cannot be replaced by an algorithm. Its value is rooted in physical and geographical fundamentals, making it a real asset anchored in a specific location.
This reinforces the role of real estate as a cornerstone of wealth strategies, particularly in a world where an increasing share of value is intangible.
Monaco: a structurally irreplaceable real estate safe haven
The Principality embodies a unique combination of factors that neither technology nor digitalization can replicate: absolute land scarcity, exceptional political and regulatory stability, an unparalleled lifestyle and sustained international appeal among global wealth.
Its institutional strength, favorable tax and regulatory environment, and exceptional quality of life make Monaco a true haven of security and stability for wealth preservation, especially in an international environment marked by rising geopolitical tensions.
In a world where many assets are becoming interchangeable, Monaco stands out as a safe, sustainable and deeply tangible value. Monaco’s real estate market is not solely driven by economic cycles, but by a strong and global structural desirability, making it particularly resilient.
A strategic destination for international wealth
Discussions highlighted a key evolution: Monaco is no longer seen solely as a defensive market, but as an active component in global wealth allocation strategies.
UHNWI are increasingly seeking tangible and secure assets, stable jurisdictions over the long term, and locations with strong patrimonial value. Monaco meets these expectations by offering a unique balance between security, performance and quality of life.

2025 results: a residential market still driven by strong demand
Without going into an exhaustive analysis, the results of Monaco's residential real estate in 2025 confirm this dynamic.
The overall volume of transactions, including sales and resales, reached €5.9 billion for approximately 493 transactions. The resale market recorded a marked increase, with an increase of +17.5% in the number of transactions and a total volume of around €3.25 billion.
Price levels remain high, with an average purchase price of around €7.6 million.
These indicators reflect a market that is dynamic, deep and resilient, supported by constant international demand.
A global approach: real estate, finance and wealth strategies
This conference also provided a broader international perspective, notably through insights from the BARNES Global Property Handbook 2026.
In an uncertain and rapidly changing environment, real estate, particularly in Monaco, remains one of the most readable, secure and long-term assets.
The wealth perspective provided by Edmond de Rothschild Monaco reinforced this vision, highlighting that the Principality represents a true safe haven for international capital.
2026 Outlook: Scarcity, Selectivity and Resilience
The outlook for 2026 follows the continuity of current trends: sustained pressure on supply, increased selectivity among buyers and continued appreciation of prime assets.
In this context, local expertise and a strong understanding of global dynamics are more essential than ever.
